Published: September 1998

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the appropriate minimum waiting time between an impingement test with subacromial injection and subsequent MR imaging to avoid misinterpretation if the injected fluid is still present.

Conclusion: MR imaging should be delayed a minimum of 24 hr after a subacromial injection. Fluid in the subacromial space 24 hr after subacromial injection is unrelated to an impingement test.

Background: Sex has been associated with different pathologic characteristics in painful hips undergoing hip arthroscopic surgery.

Purpose: To compare minimum 10-year patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and survivorship in patients who underwent primary hip arthroscopic surgery for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and labral tears according to sex.

Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

Background: The purpose of this study was to assess impingement-free internal rotation (IR) in a virtual reverse shoulder arthroplasty simulation using a Statistical Shape Model based on scapula size.

Methods: A database of over 10,000 scapulae utilized for preoperative planning for shoulder arthroplasty was analyzed with a Statistical Shape Model to obtain 5 scapula sizes including the mean and 2 standard deviations. For each scapula model, one glenosphere size (33-42 mm) was selected as the best fit based on consensus among 3 shoulder surgeons.

Association of Preoperative Walking Speed With 1-Year Outcomes After Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome.

Section of Young Adult Hip Surgery, Division of Sports Medicine, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Rush Medical College of Rush University, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois.

Background: Previous studies have identified demographic, radiographic, and intraoperative predictors of outcomes after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, yet few studies have identified whether preoperative gait metrics can predict outcomes.

Hypothesis: Increased preoperative step count, walking speed, step length, and gait symmetry will be associated with better outcomes after surgery.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Background: Dual mobility (DM) implants in total hip arthroplasty provide excellent range of motion with low dislocation rates. A complication of this design is intraprosthetic dislocation (IPD), where the polyethylene (PE) liner dissociates from the femoral head. In older designs, IPD occurred due to a small head size and late PE wear with head-capture-mechanism failure.

Background: The use of intraoperative intra-articular morphine has been suggested to lower postoperative pain scores and opioid use. We sought to evaluate the effectiveness of intra-articular morphine with 0.75% ropivacaine when compared to the use of ropivacaine alone.
